Like if a Mercurian servitor of Jordi hurts some poachers, she becomes dissonant and may Fall - but what if she still believes in Jordi's mission (just not in her role as a friend of Man).
Generally speaking, Mercurians of Jordi are supposed to be the clever monkeys and not hurt humans, but they're more about nonhuman primates, and if she really needed to hang them from a thorn tree by their ankles, Jordi will be very understanding about removing the Dissonance before it actually leads to a Fall, and Jordi has lower standards for when humans really need to be hurt than, say, Novalis has.
Quote:
Is there any way she can remain loyal to Jordi without being Redeemed?
Yes, but Jordi canonically won't want to associate with her; she can go on serving the Word as she sees it, but she better not be doing any Invocations.
Quote:
Can Jordi create a Heart for an Impudite or protect her from Dominic in any way?
No and yes but probably wouldn't, respectively.

Quote:
Or alternatively, if Vapula creates a Seraph, can the Seraph serve him?
Canonically, nothing Vapula can do would create a Seraph, and a Seraph would be fundamentally unwilling to associate with him, because Habbalah lie by nature as much as Balseraphim, although in different ways.
Quote:
There are so many unethical studies that would benefit from a Seraph's close reading...
The closest Hell can come to that are certain deeply conflicted Balseraphim of Fate, and Kronos has better things to do with them than loan them to Vapula.
Quote:
would serving the truth rather than the Divine Plan be a thing that makes a Seraph fall?
Per Canon, Seraphim are attuned to the Truth, not the truth, and the Truth is more or less synonymous with the Divine Plan.
Quote:
If not, can Vapula create a Heart for a Seraph, and/or protect him from the other Princes? Can he hide the Seraph's nature under enough "upgrades"?
No, no, and maybe, that sounds like a cool plot idea, respectively.


Your campaign may, of course, vary on any or all of these points, but those are pretty much the answers in the game as written.
